The EPA is disconnected from reality. In my area a couple of years after I moved here, the EPA decreed that outdoor burning was illegal because it is an "Urban Growth Area." Right across the Spokane River (which in our area is impounded by a hydroelectric dam and is called Lake Spokane), open burning is legal. It makes no sense.

Now, instead of having a few small fires in our back yards a couple of weekends a year, we have to load up our yard debris on a couple of "Chipper Days" and haul it to a dump site behind a local fire station about ten miles up the highway. There, it is loaded on to trucks and hauled to a recycle area for processing. Frankly, I do not know what they do with it, bur presumably convert it to some form that they dispose of where it meets their standards.

I have to haul my debris about fifteen miles to the recycle center, where it goes into bins designated for paper products, corrugated cardboard, scrap metal, and aluminum cans. Wood debris goes to the chipper day.

Except in Spokane County across the river.

Very inefficient and ineffective, in my view.
